This biography demonstrates that Powells decades-long development as an exemplary subordinate is crucial to understanding his astonishing rise from a working-class immigrant neighborhood to the highest echelons of military and political power, including his roles as the countrys first Black national security advisor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and secretary of state.</p><p>Once an aimless, ambitionless teenager who barely graduated from college, Powell became an extraordinarily effective and staunchly loyal subordinate to many powerful superiors who, in turn, helped to advance his career. By the time Powell became chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he had developed into the consummate followermotivated, competent, composed, honorable, and independent. The quality of Powells followership faltered at times, however, while in Vietnam, during the Iran-Contra scandal, and after he became George W. Bushs secretary of state. Powell proved a fallible patriot, and in the course of a long and distinguished career he made some grave and consequential errors in judgment.
